i have a machine which was pre-installed with Compaq Tru64 UNIX V5.1A
(Rev. 1885); this has a /usr/lib/libz.a but no corrosponding zlib.h
file installed.  not sure if this came in the base system or as an
optional package.

what i did was to leave the system file alone, and in a non-standard
location install zlib.h, zconf.h and libz.a from the zlib-1.1.4 release.
then use --with-zlib=PATH to get the OpenSSH configure script to find it.
